Originally hailing from Troy, Michigan, Kristin began playing violin at age four. Since that time, she has led quartets, concert mastered concert orchestras and pit orchestras, and sang, acted, and danced on stage for the theater. Her main string quartet, the Somerset Strings, played together for more than ten years before the members moved to the various reaches of the US. Kristin also began teaching violin lessons while in high school and culminated her own studies by winning a violin performance scholarship in her senior year. In addition, she took voice lessons and began stage acting, even briefly learning to play the piano and guitar. Kristin attended the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and earned bachelors and masters degrees in engineering, minoring in French language and history, music history, and business. (She was there for a long time!) For more info, visit my GigMasters press kit.
